Passing Blood Clot

So I think I got contaminated the other day since I've been experiencing major gas, pressure, bloating, pain, and the other typical things. This morning, however, I started getting cramps - bad - and I went to the bathroom thinking I had to go but it was mostly gas and I passed a clot of blood or something that looked like a clot of blood.

My mom says its probably intestinal strain from being contaminated but..its still freaking me out a little. Should I not worry about it or go see a doctor? I have an appointment schedules already for the 25th of this month to see my ultrasound scan results so I can ask questions then. In the mean time, however, should I be severely concerned?

I'd appreciate all of your advice as always. <3

If you are concerned or still passing blood you may want to call the doctor on Monday and talk to a nurse or the doctor. If you should start to have blood that is flowing, get pale and shakey, start to run a fever or are generally feeling worse perhaps contact them sooner or go to the ER. Chances are you simply have an internal hemmie that started to bleed because of the stomach upset but if things don't resolve or continue to be worrysome call the doctor.

You're right to be concerned about this - if it is a hemmie as other poster mentioned, then this will keep happening until you get them taken care of; if not, then you need an evaluation of the problem to see exacty what is going on.

Okay it sorta happened again today. By sort of, meaning there was blood again but not a lot. My stomach still keeps bubbling with pain and I'm having my usual contamination reactions. I'll wait to see if it does occur again tomorrow, since they aren't opened today, and just walk in telling them its an emergency.

I have been going to the bathroom a lot lately, which happens when I get contaminated so hemorrhoids are possible.

Thanks guys, I know I can count on you.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @llisa! If you are near a Costco, their Kirkland Signature brand, Nature Made and others are often gluten free and, if so, will state so on the packaging. They are economically priced as well.

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Milarynn,  Welcome to the forum!   Many undiagnosed, untreated Celiac Disease patients have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Be sure to have your Vitamin D level checked.  Vitamin D helps prevent bone loss, including loss from the jaw and teeth.   Magnesium and calcium are both important to bone health as well.  Magnesium helps keep the calcium from leaving your bones.  Magnesium helps make life sustaining enzymes with Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Low Magnesium and/or low Thiamine results in muscle cramping.   Thiamine deficiency is found in Pre-diabetes and Diabetes.  Poor absorption of the eight water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C are found in Celiac Disease.  Insufficient Vitamin C can cause poor oral health, resulting in poor gum health such as receding and bleeding gums.  Vitamin C is needed to fight bacteria that cause plaque which causes cavities.  Vitamin C helps rebuild tooth enamel.   I've had jaw muscle cramping, TMJ problems, tooth loss and gum problems.  Do talk to your dentist about having Celiac Disease.  Practice good oral hygiene.  I'm also Diabetic and take Benfotiamine (a form of Thiamine) that helps regulate blood glucose and heal the intestines. Do keep us posted on your test results and your progress!

      Milaryrnn, your post is confusing. First, your celiac disease antibody testing is negative. By any chance had you already been on a gluten free diet before the blood draw for these tests was done? That would result in negative antibody testing even if you had celiac disease. Or, had you previously been diagnosed with celiac disease and had the antibody testing done to check for compliance with the gluten free diet? Second, DNA testing cannot be used to confirm celiac disease. 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develops active celiac disease. It takes both the genetic potential and some triggering biological stress event in order to develop active celiac disease. Otherwise, the genes remain inactive. High lipase levels would indicate some problem with your pancreas.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By More2Learn · Posted

      Thanks, yes, I've gone back and forth.  There is a lot of autoimmune disease in my family, so primarily I was thinking a real diagnosis might be helpful for other family members -- especially as I have two young biological nephews.  I feel like I am at a crossroads, where if I'm going to test now would be the time, since I've been in a less-than-perfect eating period.  I'm either going to just going to use what I've learned in these last few months to purposely never cheat again (obviously there is the accidental glutening situations) or test first, and then do that.  I don't need an official diagnosis so much that if I'm doing well I'm going to sabotage that by then starting to eat gluten again. I'm so glad you said this.  Even from what I've read so far, it makes sense to me that this is a misconception.  But growing up with all kinds of allergies, I can see how, as for the general population it's just easier for everyone to simplify it down to a type of "allergy," people would assume this.  It's just how most people look at allergies and diets and gluten avoidance has been painted as both.  I even see it in my journey to date, when I say I want a gluten free selection at a restaurant and I am asked "is it an allergy?" and it is so much easier just to say yes (even if the answer is actually well, no, it's autoimmune).  Because the "yes" answer is the "this is serious" answer.
